Chapter 117: Murder with a knife
I tried to explain in the smallest possible voice, "The living corpse is infinitely powerful, walking like flying, almost invulnerable."
"This thing has almost no weaknesses."
"If I hadn't been injured, I could have used the formation to fight them, and now I can only wait for death if I am discovered!"
After a few seconds, the sound of footsteps outside came from far and near, and even clanged on top of our heads.
Murphy nervously grabbed my arm, tears in the corners of his eyes, "I...... Am I in trouble?"
"Not really."
I saw Murphy's panic and tried my best to comfort him, saying, "Claustrophobic people, who stay underground for too long, become irritable and anxious."
"You're not causing trouble, you just want to get out of here."
I held my breath, holding a Blood Pill in my left hand and a charm in my right hand.
Fortunately, we hid early, and the footsteps above our heads gradually returned to silence from far to near, and from near to far.
Murphy, who was relaxed, stared at his toes in disappointment, and seemed a little depressed.
I never coax girls, and after a moment of awkward silence, I poked Murphy in the shoulder with my right hand.
"Hey, you're pretty motivated when you came in, what's going on?"
Murphy bowed his head and said, "When I entered the tomb, I didn't dare to climb the tunnel, I was dragged in by you."
"When I was trapped in the water prison, "I could clearly see the little black child flipping the switch. Can...... But the fear of the moment made me stunned for a second before I reacted."
"If I had found out earlier, your two arms wouldn't have broken!"
"I'm the one who should have broken my arm, not you!"
"I am not only derelict in my duty to be this bodyguard, but also a disgrace!"
The more Murphy spoke, the more agitated he became, and tears fell down like beads of broken thread.
I never thought that Murphy would be so depressed that he would even cry bitterly for such a thing.
It was probably when I first met Murphy that I was so strong that I kept a stereotype of her as 'strong.'
As the relationship deepens, Murphy acts less like a powerful assistant and more like a ...... Little girl.
But to be born and die, I don't need a little girl.
After some hesitation, I said quietly, "Everyone has something to fear, and you are not to blame for that."
"I brought you into the tomb, and I did my best to get you out."
Murphy was keenly aware of my mood change and burst into tears, "Do you want to fire me?"
In the face of Murphy's guilty, self-blamed, and even somewhat panicked eyes, I didn't answer positively.
"You've helped me a lot lately."
"But with your character...... It doesn't seem to be suitable for dealing with ghosts."
"After you go out, the Zhenyin Sword will be left to you as a souvenir. In addition, you can pick some of the remaining charms and sell them to the people of Baicaotang."
"I don't dare to say more, but there are still 10 million or 20 million."
Murphy was the first friend I had ever met since I came to the secular world.
I lost her job, so I wanted to make up for something.
Murphy's tears stopped abruptly, the panic in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and he snorted and stood up straight.
"Alright, what are we going to do next?"
Murphy's tone became calm again, as if in an instant, all vulnerability had vanished without a trace.
Good guy, it has to be the power of money......
But for some reason, from Murphy's apparent composure, I saw a deeply hidden emotion, and I can't say what it felt like.
In short, the feeling is by no means greedy.
In a terrible situation, I didn't have time to pursue Murphy's petty emotions, and immediately proposed my own plan.
"According to my senses, Wen Tingfang is still in her villa now, and she doesn't realize that we have gone to the grave."
"Wen Tingfang's
Extremely strong, fighting head-on above me."
"I can make up a nonsense, saying that I was kidnapped by Ding Lei and others and has entered the tomb, please come quickly."
"If it's too late, the baby will be taken away!"
Murphy took out his phone and fiddled with it twice, "Oh, don't talk about the signal, I can't even turn it on."
"The catacomb's energy field is too strong for this thing to be useful."
I struggled to pull out the rune paper from my pocket, "You write on the rune paper according to what I just said."
"Okay."
Murphy pulled out his pen and wrote cleanly.
"And then?"
"Will you fold a thousand paper cranes?"
"No, it won't."
Helpless, I could only endure the sharp pain in the cracks of my bones and reach out to break.
"Wait!"
Murphy stopped me in a low voice, and then picked up the rune paper, "I have studied human body structure before, and I know a little bit about anatomy, and my hands-on ability is not bad."
"You command, I do it, it should be possible."
I hesitated, then nodded, "Okay."
What I didn't expect was that Murphy, who had overcome the emotional barrier, was exceptionally smart and clever.
I only described the process of origami once, and a beautiful paper crane appeared vividly in front of me.
"Well done!"
I was overjoyed, took the paper crane and held it in my right palm, and whispered a mantra in my mouth.
"The Tao is learned from the heart, and the heart is spread by false incense."
"Incense jade furnace, keep the emperor in your heart."
"The true spirit is looking forward to it, and the immortal is coming to Xuan."
"The order of the ministers will be closed for nine days."
The paper crane in the palm of his hand burned to ashes with a pop.
In the next moment, my consciousness came to Wen Tingfang's villa.
On the large sofa in the living room of the villa, Wen Tingfang was lying horizontally in a bathrobe, and two beautiful women who were not wearing an inch were helping him do a full body massage.
Wen Tingfang's eyes almost breathed fire when she looked at the woman, but there was no substantive movement.
After observing Wen Tingfang's life for a period of time, I also probably saw his clues.
I smiled and said, "This Wen Tingfang's true body is estimated to have died hundreds of years ago, and she has been using evil skills to maintain the operation of her physical body."
"But with the passage of time, no matter what means are used, the destruction of the flesh cannot be stopped."
"People who practice evil skills have seven emotions and six desires that are much stronger than ordinary people."
"He probably hasn't tasted a woman for too long, and his body is not good, and he is about to go crazy."
"If we want to deal with him, we have to start from this body."
Murphy swept away the attitude of playing with me before, looked serious, and even asked a little condensedly, "How can I help you kill him?"
"For the time being...... I don't know yet."
"Okay, tell me when you know."
After saying that, Murphy held the Zhenyin Sword and stood like a log next to me.
And her attitude towards me seems to be back to when I first met.
I knew she must be angry.
But I can't figure out what I should be angry about when I promise to escort her away and give her money?
